PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome)

Before menstruation begins, many women experience a wave of physical and emotional changes known as PMS. This is a natural part of the female cycle and accompanies women on their monthly journey, which is as individual as each woman herself.

PMDS – A Deeper Understanding 

For some women, PMS can become more intense. This is known as PMDD, characterized by stronger emotional reactions. Despite the intensity of this condition, it is important to emphasize that PMDD is also a natural phenomenon experienced in the cycle of many women.

Every cycle – A personal story 

Every woman experiences her cycle differently. Some feel changes like fatigue, irritability, or concentration problems, while others find this time particularly energizing. These differences are an expression of the individual beauty and strength of each woman and remind us to respect and care for ourselves and our needs.

The science behind experiencing 

Research has made great strides in unraveling the phenomenon of PMS, but there is still much to discover. The female cycle is a complex interplay of hormones, with progesterone playing a key role. Current research focuses on the endocannabinoid system and its possible influence on PMS. Interesting studies, such as those by Schmiedhofer et al. (2022), highlight the potential of natural substances like CBD to accompany and support women on their cycle journey.
